#SHE CARRIED THE SHOW SHE IS THE MOMENT

[lunar-years]

I think, whenever Jamie is at the airport without Roy, like maybe with the England team or on a trip with the lads, he goes to the airport bookshop, reads all the back covers, and picks the one with the most ridiculous sounding plot to bring home to Roy :) he's like ah yes this sounds especially terrible Roy is going to love this! and he's always right

#ted lasso #roy kent #Jamie tartt #royjamie #this happens the first time when he and keeley are on their way to brazil. #he comes back to the terminal with like. a clive cussler or lincoln child. and she's like wait YOU'RE reading that? #and jamie tells her no it's for roy and that's keeley's moment of like OH. oh they're like that about each other now. carry on jamie. #it's so special to me that roy has terrible taste in books and jamie (and keeley) have terrible taste in tv shows and movies #they're perfectly balanced

This is a very very unfinished thought but I've been thinking a lot as I reread the books about how the women of House of the Dragon don't really get catharsis and how that'll likely be worse in S2. Say what you want about asoiaf but a number of named women there experience catharsis.

They kill their abusers (Lysa, Cersei, Dany). They regain some agency after a violation (Lysa, Cersei, Lady Stoneheart, Dany), and they refuse to forgive the people complicit in their subjugation (Lysa, Cersei, Dany, Lady Stoneheart, Jeyne Westerling).

Obviously, three or four isn't enough in such an expansive cast of characters but the point remains that they claw back their autonomy however they have to. They're allowed to be angry, bitter, unforgiving and cruel to their abusers in a way women in House of the Dragon just aren't allowed. They're allowed grief, grief that is violent and destructive.

The women of House of the Dragon don't get angry. They stand around and stare plaintively at the camera, they cry prettily, and they plead for peace and non-violence. They suffer and suffer and suffer and there's no relief.

#although dany doesn't really set out to kill her abuser #in fact she doesn't really think of him as her abuser #but the fact remains that her story begins with his death #she gains her dragons and agency through his death #lysa murdering jon arryn #lysa not going to riverrun when hoster is on his deathbed despite cat's letters #she denies him relief for his crimes against her and it's one of my favourite moments in asoiaf #cersei killing robert #cersei eating robert's children taking back reproductive autonomy from the man that hurt her #lady stoneheart turning her grief and pain onto the riverlands #she hangs freys boltons and lannisters uncaringly #it's a failing of the storytelling because this is supposed to be the feminist retelling of the dance #but instead the misogyny that leads up to the dance has been defanged. #the point of the show has been obscured behind endless arguments of the supposed illegitimacy of rhaenyra's first three children #the women fighting for power have been replaced by evil men perched on their shoulders telling them to do bad things #they're helpless victims carried along by the stream of inevitability #or something idk #also i am not including alicent trying to take luke's eye and injuring rhaenyra as cathartic because they are not the cause of her sufferin #house of the dragon #not asoiaf thoughts #daenerys targaryen #lysa arryn #cersei lannister #lady stoneheart #alicent hightower #rhaenyra targaryen #helaena targaryen #rhaenys targaryen

you can clearly see where scara gets his good looks from

#i believe in ei supremacy🛐 #idc if she discarded scaramouche or whatever she was doing it for his own good #miko legit wanted to kill him but ei set him free upon seeing him shed tears in his moment of creation #she saw his gentle heart and wanted him to be something more.. she didn't want him to just be a lifeless vessel for her gnosis #even if scaramouche didn't understand and felt betrayed.. abandoned by the woman he called mother #ei had a heart kind enough to set him free.. i hope one day she gets the chance to tell her son that she did this out of love #bc you can clearly see how much scara wanted ei's love–its absolutely heartbreaking #HE STOLE THE GNOSIS BC EVEN THOUGH HE RESENTED EI HE WANTED A PART OF HER WITH HIM #HE WANTED TO SHOW HER THAT HE COULD CARRY HER GNOSIS JUST LIKE HE WAS INTENDED TO.. THAT HE WAS NEVER DEFECTIVE #DEEP DOWN?? THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT REVENGE. HE JUST WANTED HIS MOTHER'S ACCEPTANCE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 #I DONT THINK YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND HOW INCONSOLABLE I AM ABOUT THIS #genshin impact #raiden ei #ei genshin impact #ei genshin #raiden shogun #beelzebub #lotus draws

something something as evil as he is about owning and subjugating her for eternity shes twice as insane about being the only one for him

#yugioh #ygo #art tag #seto kaiba #kisara #blueshipping #ill say it!!! I THINK SET'S SOUL HAS BEEN REINCARNATING NON STOP SINCE HIS FIRST LIFE. lost bitter. its so angsty because #hes destined for the same game same shame same loss for hundreds of lives. i think he had many wives many children #I KNOW IT SUCKS BLUESHIPPERS BUT LISTEN: none of those souls binds to him carried into the next. UNLIKE SOME INSANE WOMANS #WHO DECIDED TO ANCHOR HER SOUL INTO HIS BECAUSE HE WAS NICE TO HER ONE (1) TIME #kisara is more insane agenda. she just didnt have the screentime to show it!!! #as if any normal woman is suffering this guy for 5000 years for a single moment of kindness. miss me with that idiotic bs #only kisara is crazy enough for that smh #he had many wives and my sons and many families and his bitter angry long suffering soul only knew her light!!!!!!! shut up #anyway so i think we should be freaked by her coveting gaze

something seriously needs to motivate me to write my "Furina and the Wanderer get kidnapped by Celestia and are forced to go through a trial/domain together as 'punishment' for being false-gods" fic

#ft great moments such as #''Wanderer cannot fly for very long but Furina's walk on water effect can go on forever-'' #''-so Furina carries Wanderer across a long stretch of water'' #''the archons astral project in to help them and the only one that doesn't scare the hell out of them is Nahida'' #''Aether figures out he can communicate with them through mirrors and ALSO jumpscares them'' #''Wanderer being upset that 90% of the people who show up to help are there for Furina. not him.'' #(like he gets WHY but i still think he'd be somewhat down about it) #''Wanderer and Furina bonding in general'' #which includes but is not limited to them protecting each other in fights #(it's mostly Wanderer protecting Furina since she's new to fighting) #''Furina quickly upgrading her healing to work on puppets when Wanderer's face gets CRACKED'' #something something they're both struggling at being human for very different reasons- #- but it's their struggles that MAKE them perfectly human

i cant believe ducktales assigned roles to my found family

#listen listen #i know the show is about webby finding shit about herself #but SCROOGE IS NOT HER DAD #HES UNCLE SCROOGE #she couldve said uncle in that very pivital moment and it would have carried the same emotional weight #without putting them into stupid nuclear family roles #ducktales #woohoo #my tags

Fav Tatsumaki moment?

Oho definitely this (my favorite panel of her):

The silent lead up to her signature Tatsumaki 'tornado' Twist attack, rending the earth's surface asunder like a massive dishrag of destruction, was impeccably awesome. And then her lifting the entire MA base up from underground into a gigantic Lance of Longinus (especially after both her hands had been symbolically pierced with stigmata wounds) to mercilessly spear the last remains of Psykorochi into smithereens upon its sacrificial deathbed was probably her most epic clapback of justice to date. 😩 Extremely satisfying to see her win with such Finality of Force that way. She absolutely proves why she's earned the top of S Class - demonstrating she's an entire domineering niche class of her own~

#opm #tatsumaki #anonymous #replies #woohoo~ the moment she showed why she's such a power goddess and carried the battle as the definitive mvp

How forever-fucked obsessed in love are you with your ex? Are you "hallucinate her sitting on your chest taunting you while in an opium-induced haze" obsessed?

Cuz that's Charles Vane, poor bastard 😂😂😂

Those two really do deserve each other (derogatory) and I'm continually pleased as punch that we're never given information about what their specific falling out looked like

#black sails #thoughts #Charles Vane #Eleanor guthrie #black sails lb #she's calling him a bitch and also giving him a pep talk sort of #but none of that is really her it's just the inner Eleanor that he carries around with him all the time apparently #show is filled with ghosts #everybody got like 20 ghosts #charles vane is having his vision quest moment

His voice was fading away, yet it was definitely not the voice of a man preparing himself for death. Almost at the same time, roars of crackling thunders could be heard coming from the far side of the heavens. They did not belong to Indra's thunderbolts. The space-time was distorting, and the noises were generated by something crossing over a gigantic Gate. Yoo Joonghyuk couldn't see that spectacle, but Anna Croft witnessed it in his stead. It was an army enveloped in pitch-black darkness; a single realm buried deep inside an ancient Myth was currently crossing over to this world. – Yoo Joonghyuk, you stupid bastard!! Yoo Joonghyuk heard the loud yelling from the one standing at the forefront of that army and spoke up. "…Because I have allies in this turn who won't betray me." [Nebula, < Underworld >, has joined the 'Great War of Saints and Demons'.]

Joonghyuk! You’re not allowed to yell at Dokja when you do stupid stuff like this!!!

Awww, but he trusted Dokja to come in time to save him.

BUT STILL DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THIS JOONGHYUK!

But also that was awesome and Dokja is totally gonna fanboy super hard over you destroying one of the strongest constellations of Vedas in a single strike. Right after he gets done cursing you out and grumbling with Sooyoung about what an idiot you are.

THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN JOONGHYUK!

But it was very Protagonist of you.

#honestly I do know that dokja’s whole thing is redeeming characters who were evil in previous rounds #and even creating partnerships with people who yjh never even met #but I’m still not super thrilled about trusting anna croft #I’m waiting for the moment she decides it’s more beneficial for her to betray them #but I guess at least for now she did save yjh long enough for dokja to show up #also I know ORV has mentioned before that yjh chose to carry his memories to the very end #so it’s interesting to see that anna chose to forget after so long #though that does bring back some old theories of this not being dokja’s first rodeo #and that’s why there’s versions of TWSA in his Library that he doesn’t remember #who’s to say this isn’t HIS 1863rd turn and he couldn’t bring himself to retain the memories… #oh and of course I love that yjh believes in dokja’s plans so much that he’s willing to save anna croft to fulfill them #in addition to his own desire to not allow her to forget the reason for his hatred #yjh #kdj #anna croft #orv #orv spoilers #orv novel chapter 391 #orv liveblog #omniscient reader’s viewpoint

#Doodles #Original #Tala #BunBonBop #Yaaay the Tala in the BBB universe idea finally congealed into a full concept! Love when that happens haha #It's also fun to see two of my cutest lads interact haha ♥ #Bun-Bun can be quite courageous if given the right stimuli! I feel like I've only drawn her being silly or weepy the poor lad haha #She's a good lad! Deserves to be shown for all her many facets haha #I don't think I've ever mentioned her actual age - I mentioned she's pre-pubescent but never an actual number #Partially because their brand also obscures their real age lol ♪ All the BBBs are a year apart but their image is ''triplets'' #They all Shift to be the same apparent age but they're not! Bunny's the middle child both in her family and among the BBBs haha #She's 12 :) And Tala's 7 so she's intimidated by this large child! Even tho Bun's only a couple inches taller than her #Mostly Tala just doesn't do well with strangers and she's in a new environment without her adult attendent - she's very freaked out #Piggybacking off the previous idea of property/person bodily rights and kidnapping - I think it was just such a mixup that happened here #Bunny especially but all the BBBs like plushies so it's not unusual to occasionally find one sitting around forgotten #Or like cleaning up after a shoot - Tala probably just wandered away for a moment and Shifted into her plush form since she's tiny #Much easier to sneak around! But then froze when another person showed up and got carried inside D: Very scary! #She probably shifted back just in time for Bunny to notice her - taking up the rear of the BBBs going to their next appointment #But also Bunny is rather observant! Definitely more than people give her credit for since she can also be a bit spacy ♥ #But she's quite kind and altruistic :) She's a sweet lad! Shifting down to her minimum age (if you recall when Shifting starts presenting!) #Just so she'll look like Tala can help her rather than the other way around ♪ And talking so it's not awkward haha #Oh yeah - last fun fact lol - time Shifters' clothes don't Shift with them so she's swimming in her clothes a little bit lol #The BBBs' clothes are made with Shifting in mind but they do have an upward limit! Or I guess downward limit in this case lol

Yuka Shiraishi. btw.

#she has 20 lines at most but i love her #i'd really like for an 5 to have more yuka content... especially since ken is training vbs #ken is working them rough which for people surrounding vivid street (or at least vbs) would seem tough but understandable #but yuka is an outsider. yuka is a caring mother who still supports her daughter and her friends despite not growing up in vivid street #yuka would possibly consider this too much for the moment and try to get them to relax #and. i really want the current vbs arc to end with them relaxing a little #i don't think they'll go straight from “we're surpassing rad weekend and carrying nagi's wish” #to “we're tying ourselves down to this one event when we could go even further��� #but they could definitely recognise “we're still kids we have time” #and yuka could be the one to bring that up. radder were all adults when rad weekend happened. vbs are in their second year of high school #and they're talented. so incredibly talented. kohane showed that at crawl green. akito finally realises his growth in his 4th event #toya has just came to terms with his classical music background and draws from it to write songs for the group #and an has had years of experience singing. except she also holds herself back in her want to be line nagi #which i'm almost certain will be addressed in her 5th event. and with yuka being the one who comforted an during lutf (in her card) #well. i think it would be nice for her to come back #especially as she is - again - an outsider to vivid street. she could represent how vbs can go beyond vivid street #another possibility is kohane's father. he sort of just disappeared after sdsc (at least i recall akito and an mentioning meeting him?) #and considering the impact he has on kohane (photography and his doubts regarding her sudden change in early game) #it could be nice seeing him again since with kohane/akito/toya seemingly reaching the end of a current arc in the last year #(ie the kohane and taiga plot/akito no longer feeling like he's behind the others/toya and classical music) #the next step in the group's story could be happening #half of this has nothing to do with yuka fjrjdiejd. i just like the concept of her being the group's link to going outside of vivid street #or going beyond is suppose. beyond the way... #bagel's rambles #i'm on break. watch me draw yuka design

going unbelievably insane over this

#tm #i i'm like i'm short circuiting #the way - when they both carry so much pain and trauma with them; where they deal with death and the worst of people every day; #when they've lost so much; lost each other more than once - #one of the most pervasive themes in their story; woven throughout it from the very beginning is happiness #wanting to give whatever happiness they can to others - #comforting families and getting justice for victims and jane's gifts and pranks and lisbon's supportive leadership and understanding - #wanting to be happy themselves; and maybe most importantly wanting the other to be happy #like just off the top of my head (and i'm so tempted to go right back and rewatch and actually write down every one) there's so much of it #and it makes me crazy because of how it's expressed on both sides #lisbon doesn't SAY it much - most of the 'i want you to be happy' kind of lines are jane's - but she SHOWS it #from the day they met and she helped him up off the floor she's there in support of him; #her quiet comfort when he's low; her eye rolls and indulging grins when he's pulling a silly trick on the team; #her soft smiles in the background when someone genuinely thanks him and he doesn't know what to do #with the pain she has in her past; in growing up; with the tough skin she's wrapped herself in to get through what she has #she appreciates the quieter moments; the moments where her big bombastic partner lets down his guard and #stops putting on so much of a show and she can see the joy he can still find in the little things even with all the darkness he carries #it's jane that has the big loud moments - the confessions and the spoken words - where he states outright (and repeatedly) #how much he wants her to be happy; how important it is to him and that makes so much sense because that's who he is #(not always of course but more often than not and that's how he presents himself) #he's dramatic and he's bold and his grief is the same; this giant unavoidable yoke that's never going to completely fall off his shoulders #and idk there's just something so beautiful to me about this man with the more obvious burden of pain being so doggedly - and vocally - #committed to the happiness of this woman who tries to hide her pain and shies away from comfort more than she's able to accept it #and that through everything they've been together the ways both of them approach happiness and each other have also come together #where he can say something like this and not only can she be happy for him but she can know just how much of that is because of her #'for the first time in YOU know how long' and she does #they just make me crazy

Two Door Cinema Club is coming in February and I'm going if it costs me my life

#ive only seen them once in 2013(?) and my best friend literally passed out in the middle of the crowd and i had to carry her out #the venue was very hot and way overbooked and it was the dead of winter so everyone was in sweaters and stuff. including my friend #and she was on her period. the combo of anemia + heat + her untreated ED caught up with her and she just fucking dropped to the floor #she was very tall and lanky and im very small but strong and i literally had to toss her over my shoukder fireman style #and drag her out of the crowd to the fresh air with her toes scraping the ground behind us #laid her down on the downtown atlanta sidewalk and waited for her mom to come get us while i listened to the rest of the show lol #i didnt mean to tell the whole story but it was one of the wildest moments of my life lol. #she was fine btw! i wont name her bc she's successfully pursuing fame in LA now #anyyyywaaayssssss i am gonna see them in person forrealsies and in full at any cost #heavily considering getting my sibling a ticket to the show and bringing her with us instead of the holiday present she asked for #she really wanted to go but my mom cant stand for the whole show to chaperone #cam talks
